Why are we known as the Jachin Group? Here’s the story!
Our roots trace back to R. Hewett Limited, Acton, founded by my great grandfather, Richard John Hewett, who began his journey as a builder and builder’s merchant in 1900. The business probably expanded around the time the date was painted on a house in Acton. The original workshop was located in Acton Green, about half a mile south of Acton.
The tools used by the workers had “UIT” marked on them. My great Uncle, who was still alive in the early 1990s, explained that the unusual marking was due to the local accent, which dropped the ‘h’ from words. Hence, Hewett would be pronounced as “UIT”. This unique linguistic quirk inspired us to carry the tradition forward, shaping the identity of our business as the Jachin Group.
Richard J. Hewett passed away on June 28th, 1935, leaving behind a large family. His death didn’t mark the end of the business, but rather it continued to prosper under the leadership of his two sons, Clemence Vincent Hewett, and Frank Walter Hewett. The business relocated from Acton Green to Britannia Way, Park Royal in the 1950s.
In the dynamic world of design and construction, Chris and Paul Hewett have carved a niche for themselves, blending a deep-rooted passion for design, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Chris, as the co-founder and head designer, brings to the table an impressive portfolio that spans commercial facades, 2D drafting, 3D modeling, and more. With a range of certifications from being a Schuco certified senior designer to an adept structural calculation analyst, his expertise ensures every project stands out, both in design and functionality. On the other hand, Paul’s vast knowledge in mechanical engineering and digital marketing, combined with a sharp business acumen, has been instrumental in pioneering sustainable and innovative construction solutions, making Jachin Group Ltd a leader in its domain.
His ability to craft compelling narratives, combined with a deep understanding of modern media platforms, ensures the company’s projects are not only built to perfection but also showcased to the world in their best light. Together, the Hewett trio represents a harmonious blend of design, business, and media prowess, setting new standards in the construction industry.
Beyond their individual skills, the Hewett brothers have always placed a paramount emphasis on health and safety, ensuring that every venture undertaken by Jachin Group Ltd adheres to the strictest safety protocols. Chris, with his keen eye for design details, ensures that each structure not only meets aesthetic standards but also adheres to safety norms, considering the well-being of both the workers on-site and the end-users.
Paul’s leadership ensures a culture of vigilance, promoting frequent safety training sessions, and keeping the team updated on the latest health and safety regulations in the construction industry. Rick’s media capabilities further enhance this focus, helping to disseminate vital safety guidelines, campaigns, and updates to a broader audience, making certain that the message of safety is heard loud and clear. This holistic approach to construction, encompassing stellar design, innovative business solutions, and a stringent commitment to health and safety, solidifies the Hewett trio’s reputation as leaders in their field.
